I enjoy reading William Craig because he is one of those deep thinkers who always challenges the reader to stretch his thinking process. The sub-title is Christian Truth and Apologetics and was first published in 1984 but has been reprinted in 1994 by Crossway Books. Among his defense of Theism against an atheistic culture, is […]

Get Real
How, then, it may be asked, can we either reach or avoid [God]? The avoiding, in many times and places, has proved so difficult that a very large part of the human race failed to achieve it. But in our own time and place it is extremely easy. Avoid silence, avoid solitude, avoid any train […]
The Challenge of Postmodernism
This is a collection of twenty-three essays on this subject. Most of them were originally delivered at the 1994 spring Southeastern Region meeting of the Evangelical Theological Society, hosted by the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky. There is a wide range of viewpoints represented but all sound a note of urgency about presenting […]
Mere Christianity (on cassette)
Having reviewed this Lewis work with many of his others already, I can’t help but recommend that you listen to this classic on cassette. This is the kind of book where concentration is difficult and reading this kind of writing is already slow. I took this along on a long trip so I could listen […]
Christian Apologetics in the Postmodern ...
This is a more diverse look at the church’s mission to the postmodern man from two theology teachers at Wheaton College. Of the thirteen contributors to this volume, not all are conservative in their approach although Wm. Lane Craig’s chapter on Christian Particularism and free will is worth the price of the book. Phillips and […]
God in the Dock
I know that I have reviewed a lot of books by Lewis lately and I admit I enjoy traveling in Lewisiana. You must realize from the start that you are reading a philosopher (a fact you cannot miss) and you will enjoy the journey much better. The fact is, that few contemporary writers both think […]
Can Man Live Without God?
Ravi Zacharias is fast becoming the Josh McDowell of the 90’s. He is in constant demand at the world’s leading educational institutions. This book (his first, A Shattered Visage: the real face of atheism, should also be read) is the result of lectures given at Harvard and Ohio State universities arguing Christianity’s unique answer to […]
Mere Christianity
Six Spiritual Classics Rather than apologizing for quoting so much from C.S. Lewis over the past few months I decided to recommend a set of his books (some of which I have reviewed). This last year I decided to read a whole set (plus a biography) and have not at all regretted the project. As […]
Room for God
I was pleasantly surprised with my first book by Robert Wenz (thanks, Rob). Forwarded by Robert Horton, their books read much the same way. It is a conservative look at the local church worship service from a balanced approach. Among much more, Wenz offers these words. ‘‘We must guard the integrity of the drama of […]
Ministering To Our Culture
Who cares how many boxes of cereal can be sold via television? We need to know if television changes our conception of reality, the relationship of the rich to the poor, the idea of happiness itself. A preacher who confines himself to considering how a medium can increase his audience will miss the significant question: […]
